Two lawmakers from across the aisle found common ground on the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, where an environment disaster continues weeks after the incident.
"We need Congressional inquiry and direct action from Pete Buttigieg to address this tragedy," the Democratic lawmaker added.The derailment has already forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes, though some have been allowed to return.
He failed to mention the derailment in a speech at the National Association of Counties conference on Monday, although he tweeted later that evening he is"concerned about the impacts" of the disaster. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chimed:"Secretary Buttigieg laughing about Chinese spy balloons while ignoring the Ohio train derailment shows you how out of touch Democrats are."
